The conversation goes...

gh: i am an asset, specifically property, which is often revaluated upwards

hp: then i am shareholders' equity, that values accordingly to market sentiments so my life is full of excitement since it fluctuates a lot

conclusion mutually reached: so the differences between us are all the liabilities such as provisions, provisions on houses and other provisions and debts

gh: ah ha! so i am valued always higher than you since A=L+SE.

don't tell me how lame this conversation is, because i think it is totally nonsensical. but the moment of craziness and crankiness was unbearingly funny, so here it goes to be documented and to be stayed in my memories.

When the sever is down at 5pm, it gives us a legitimate reason to pack and leave office at 5:30pm :) took the 6pm city hall shuttle and was home by 7pm, shiok.

recently, been blogging more, either due to more happenings in my life or simply more time :) things in life suddenly took many big turns with events turning up one after another. a big move, mixed feelings. happiness cum a tinge of sadness. nonetheless, i believe the happiness will overcome the mixed-up emotions eventually. it was a move with sacrifices where i have to face a little disappointment on my parents' faces. Though they are supportive, they can't hide the true emotions that their little girl has grown up. For myself, it was a move far away from the east which still holds the most memories of my growing up days.

the best ever chilli crab i have eaten found in...no signboard restaurant at geylang.

thanks to my craving for crab, dinner was costly, reaching close to $100 for 2. but the chilli crab was so delicious that it drove away the guiltiness and replaced it with blissful delights. thanks to dar being able to select a good crab, the crab we ate was a fleshy female crab :) i was really highly amused by how the entire huge chunk of meat could be detached easily from the shell and tasted so much crab meat and eggs. it added back all the calories i burnt in the past weeks of exercise. of course, not discounting the other seafood restaurants where i have not tried but this is definately much better than the one of the famous seafood restaurant along ECP. this craving will be curbed for a long while :)

Friday's workout was a long lost feeling, the feeling of a good proper workout with friends :) 2 solid hours of badminton, with minimal resting. being a convenient and easy to pick up sport, it brings back memories from primary sch playing at tiong bahru cc to sec sch lessons in class, JC friends playing at Tampines sports hall to uni hall days and now even after work exercise. sure looking forward to this being a more weekly event :)

Decisions are so hard to make.

Recently, there have been many decisions and it is especially difficult to make when it involves money. Having seen money out of my account consecutively, it really made me realize how hard money comes by. it comes in slowly but goes out fast. nonetheless, i will always remember that money is not hard to make, it is how you go about achieving it. ms chia, stop being such a control freak.

finally took up the courage to wipe out the remainings of my investment account for the Hutchison IPO after pouring through the many hundred pages of prospectus. hope they will be better than my funds. lolz. excited for my first step forward towards shares and looking forward to building my own little little investments.

also noted that it is not so easy as passion to further studies as it involves a lot more of $$$. it has always been my dream to have a master, not just any master but MBA. However, looking at the cost of $50k, i realize it is a super big barrier. tertiary education was a long repayment scrimping and saving already, MBA will be unimaginable. lolz. nonetheless, i have settled for professional certification meanwhile which is also money out of the pocket. definately afraid that i might not finish it, but nonetheless, i will try hard :) i have a long-term goal in mind, a career goal for myself in the next 6 years. i have no idea how to get there but is working to reach there eventually :) *smiles* was really relieved when i made up my mind on my career path as i clearly work towards goals, without goals i would feel really aimless.

definately aside from career and studies, there are many other aspects of life that i look forward to. this was inspired by the sunday times last week where the Brand's featured article of women at work. definately, this are all goals and dreams, whether they are be achieved, we shall review it again 3 years later :)

side-tracking a little, was upset on friday upon realizing the carelessness i have made at work recently. not sure whether it is an excuse to say i am still learning the ropes or i was plainly careless. despite checking (at least i thought i checked many times), i just did not spot my mistakes :( really a lot of careless mistakes! argh. hope i will be much much more careful, use my brain more to check on the sanity of the numbers and open my eyes big to check! **important ms chia**

yet all this disappointment with myself was slowly eroded during the night as we chit chatted and caught up! wow it was a 3.5-hour long chit chatting session, bringing back memories of audit and the great companionship. glad we are all keeping in contact despite us slowly leaving the audit world. sat was a total joy from early morning where my dear bro decided to buy back my dream longchomp bag though i was just teasing him when requesting to get a gift, especially good if he can bring back that particular model. lol not that i am materialistic but i am really want a good durable bag that can last for long after the many frustrations that my bags normally can't last. *touched* that he took my words from his previous trip and in the process of considering whether to be a gift or not, which i assume it is most probably going to be judging from his generosity recently :) i was so happy beyond words at seeing that gift. recently been totally spoilt by the people around me, from the phone to the robinson vouchers and now this longchomp bag. *guilty guilty* beyond words

the weekend was pure happiness, basking in the joy of ice-cream, sentosa, starbucks, friends and swimming :)
